What can I do to make the itching go away 13 years after my tummy tuck?

By far the best thing you can do to make the itching go away is the absolutely not scratch your skin.

Scratching the skin can cause persistent inflammation that perpetuates the cycle.

Scratching the skin can also create a feedback loop with neurotransmitter release in the brain that can eventually become a difficult habit to break.

Not scratching typically resolves the itching.

Certain medication‘s can make this enunciation worse. next time you see your primary care doctor you may want to bring it up with them and also consider seeing a dermatologist.
